Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution.
Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles
which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
external evacuation or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the metal grease filter
To remove the grease
filters, first pull the handles
upwards, then extract the
filter outwards. Fig. 6.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about
one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening cleaner,
then rinse off thoroughly with
hot water. Repeat the process
if necessary. Refit the grease
filters when they are dry.
